Let $f_n:[1,infty) rightarrow mathbb{R}$ be defined by $f_n(x)=frac{1}{x}chi_{[n,infty)}(x)$. Does $int f_n to int f$?




I know it is an application of DCT but I really don't know to come up with a bound that would satisfy the hypothesis of DCT. Something like $frac{1}{x^2}$ should work but $frac{1}{x} > frac{1}{x^2}$.

$begingroup$

as stated in the comments, the first thing to see is that $f_nto 0$ pointwise everywhere as $ntoinfty$. Also $int_{[n,infty)}f_n=+infty$ no matter what is $nin[1,infty)$ so if you suppose that the DCT holds true, then by intechanging limit and integrals you would obtain $limint_{[n,infty)}f_n=+infty=int_{mathbb{R}}lim f_n=0$ which is not possibly true.
